I love this purse! It's absolutely beautiful and I love to carry it. It's very discreet as a concealed carry bag; it is a medium size bag though! The product description on GTM's site leads a person to believe that it's a smaller bag, but believe me it's definitely not. It's large enough that I can place file folders in it with no trouble as well as a planner book, large wallet, altoids tin, and manicure set and still have room to spare. It almost borders on being too large, but some of that is that it's a messenger bag rather than a tote so it takes up a lot of room at your hip. It is easy to maneuver with though and easy to reach the gun compartment. It doesn't come with a lock for that compartment (a feature I've seen on some other purses that I'm not sure that I want on a purse of mine but I'll mention it). Also, a heads up to anyone using the shoulder strap: the filaments woven into it to make it slash resistant also make it incredibly stiff at first. After a few days, it starts to take on the shape of your shoulder and feels better as you wear it but it is a little uncomfortable at first. It does get better and the peace of mind is worth a couple days of mild discontent to me. Overall, it's a good purse so far.
